Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)

Description A general protection fault issue in the Linux kernel's LSM (Linux Security Modules) has been identified. The problem arises from the interaction between security modules and the handling of input parameters. Specifically, the Smack security module correctly processes its data and returns 0, but a subsequent BPF hook returns an error code (-ENOPARAM), causing confusion for the caller. Additionally, the SELinux hook incorrectly returns 1 on success, whereas it should return 0. This discrepancy is due to a change in expectations over time.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
